Need Help?

Are you tired of your dog pulling on the leash? Does it frustrate you that your dog barks every time it sees a person or animal and won't stop when you tell them to? Are you still having potty issues?
Does your dog show aggression with people or other dogs? Does your dog jump on people when they walk into your house?

These are some common problems that people encounter with dog ownership. Finding solutions to these problems is as easy as choosing a qualified dog trainer. At TRI-STATE CANINE OBEDIENCE we know that finding the right dog trainer for your individual needs can be tough. That's why we have developed a versatile program to provide effective solutions for a wide range of behavioral problems, ranging from basic obedience to aggression.

Our Philosophy

Our training philosophy is simple and effective: To work with a dogs natural instincts to promote the behavior that is desired and to promote a stronger bond between you and your dog. We do not use forceful or painful methods when training (your dog should never fear you when training). Along with positive reinforcement we take a balanced approach to training, with many training tools at our disposal (treats are not the only way to teach a dog to come). We follow current canine ethology, no more of the "yank and crank" trainers of yesteryear. Our goal is to have a happy well mannered dog that has been integrated into your lifestyle.
